Raheem Sterling, attacker for England, was acquired by Chelsea from Manchester City during the most recent summer transfer window for a fee of 47.5 million pounds. Chelsea is currently in the bottom half of the Premier League and has lost six straight games overall, therefore the transfer has turned out to be a disappointment for Chelsea.
Raheem Sterling says this season at Chelsea has been “one of the lowest points” of his career, and the club’s next manager must have “the final say on everything”, according to Sky Sports. The 28-year-old has scored only four goals and produced just two assists in 24 league appearances amid a torrid season that has seen him struggle for form and fitness.
“Personally, this is one of the lowest points in my career,” Sterling stated.
After sacking Graham Potter, Frank Lampard is the fourth manager of Chelsea’s season as the new owner, Todd Bohely, looks for a suitable man for the job for the upcoming season. Sterling thinks the next person in the dugout must have full control.
“I’m not one to tell the club what to do, but from what I can gauge from where I was previously, organisation is the most important thing. Having a manager that has the final say on everything and it is his way with everyone having to follow that,” Sterling said.
A hindering factor in Chelsea’s season has been the arrival of many new players, which has made training sessions difficult, and the dressing room seems to be too small to fit the whole squad together. “There’s new ownership, the new manager that came at the start of the season, new players, and some players that were meant to leave but didn’t at the time; it’s been an overload of players,” said Sterling.
